These are photos of one of my friend’s friend–she died yesterday.
She’s beautiful and I hear she was kind.
That’s life; no one knows when it will end for another.
The first question I asked when I saw my friend lament over her death was—was she happy?
If she had a designer bag, an expensive pair of shoes, a lot of money in her bank accounts–she wouldn’t take any of them with her. In fact, these things are worthless now, at least to her.
Mostly, the things we aggressively chase, when we die, get thrown away or go to the people we even hate for them to have.
Life is a journey full of uncertainties and therefore leaving anything important to chance or tomorrow is not just absurd, it also means you have no understanding and appreciation of life.
People have no time to spend with those that matter–hoping when they have made enough money one day, they will then make time for these people. What if, you die or they die before then?
Yesterday, I got into a mini-phone fight with a friend of mine from Law School, she got married in Ghana and moved there to join her husband. 4 months after birth, she is going back to work–the reason she called me was to ask that she buys an electric breast pump and send to my address, so that when I am coming to Ghana, I will bring it to her.
